    So over the winter I decide i needed a second car but didnt have the money for one....so i figured I'd use all the things I have laying around. I have a 85 ford ltd wagon with a bad engine and lucky for me its a foxbody chassis and i had everything to put my 289 in it so here it is. Hopefully ill have it done this weeked enough to drive it and get some better pics

    Small world. My dad has a 86 daily driver which we will shortly be pulling the tired stock 3.8 and swapping in a 5.0.

    If your going with a carb, then its pretty simple wiring it you cut out 95% of tje harness lol.
    Also using a reg foxbody oil pan will be easier, i used a 7 qt pan and had to cut a little notch outta the k member
